Norm Macdonald Dies: Influential Comedian & Former ‘SNL’ Weekend Update Anchor Was 61
Quote:
Norm Macdonald, whose laconic delivery of sharp and incisive observations made him one of Saturday Night Live‘s most influential and beloved cast members, died today after a nine-year private battle with cancer. He was 61.
Macdonald’s death was announced to Deadline by his management firm Brillstein Entertainment. The comedian’s longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra, who was with him at the time of his death this morning, said Macdonald had been battling cancer for nearly a decade but was determined to keep his health struggles private, away from family, friends and fans.

I would say he's one of the most underappreciated comedians of the past 30 years.
so many people just didn't get his brilliance.

Brutal. He was so so so funny. Love how he relentlessly went after Michael Jackson when no one else would.

God dammit.
Love me some Norm; his “memoir” ‘Based on a True Story’ is one of the funniest books you’ll ever read.

This is very shocking. I routinely watch old Norm clips on YouTube as he is one of my favorite comedians.
